Comparing single-incision midurethral sling with bulking agents for female stress urinary incontinence: rationale for a non-randomised controled trial
Conclusion: By designing a non-randomized patient preference trial, we not only expect to demonstrate high patient satisfaction with both interventions, but also provide insight in the possible role of PAHG-injections in the treatment of female SUI as a first-choice non-conservative treatment. Trial Registration: This study is retrospectively registered at the Dutch Trial Registry on 22-03-2021 under the number NL9353. (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

The Utility of Preoperative Serum CA125 Combined with HE4 to Predict Lymph Node Metastasis in Endometrial Cancer
Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic performance of the serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), a combination of CA125 and HE4, and a Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) in the preoperative prediction of high-risk lymph node metastasis in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC). Designs: This is a cross-sectional study Participants/Materials, Setting, and Methods: A cross-sectional study of data for patients with early-stage endometrioid EC treated surgically at Rajavithi Hospital between April 2020 and April 2021 was commenced. The preoperative serum levels of CA125 and...

Role of Protopine and Nuciferine in the management of nocturia, urgency and dysuria in pre- and post-menopausal women: a prospective pilot study.
Abstract Objectives: Nocturia was commonly treated with drugs burdened with high costs and numerous side effects; in fact, more than 70% of patients drop out of long-term treatment. Protopine and Nuciferine are two alkaloids that have different effects on the neurotransmitter receptors involved in the regulation mechanism of the onset of urinary stimuli. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy in controlling primarily nocturia and secondarily urgency and dysuria after three months of treatment with combination therapy of protopine and nuciferine syrup. Design: This is a prospective cohort study in which all pati...
